My family along with my wife's twin sister and her husband wet to the city to take in the sights and sounds of the city. We had such a good time a we started off in little Italy for pizza and cappuccinos with maybe a cookie or two but the city was waiting and we needed the energy to make it across the city and to fight the crowds in Rockefeller center. The air was brisk as we hiked the busy street the smells of the city both good and bad filled the air. The sounds of the city buzzed through my ears including the sound of the traffic and the chatter of the street vendors selling their wares to the naive tourists like myself. Though I have visited the city many times before it always seem like its my first time and all of my senses are placed into overdrive. What amazes me is how I am bombarded with the energy the city gives off its a hum that goes though out your entire being. We all felt it as we walked to our planned destinations it was a bonding experience for all of us as we talked about the sights and sounds we were experiencing together. I look forward to next year pilgrimage back to the city
